Special message to Fairfield University parents
As Fairfield University parents, we have seen directly how the experiences and opportunities unlocked during our children's time at Fairfield have positively influenced their lives. We can be proud of the growth the University has experienced. Today's students have wonderful opportunities both in and out of the classroom. This is made possible in part because of the support of parents.
As chairs of the Parents' Committee, we believe the best way to honor our students is to invest in the institution that has helped shape their future.
Consider a gift in celebration of your student. Make a gift in their honor, or a faculty or staff member who has helped define their Fairfield experience. Simply fill out the full name of honoree in the Notes section of the online giving form.
